Tianshui Village is not far away, and children like Zhiping don't feel tired after walking a few steps, and they arrive at the entrance of the village after a while. Like their village, every household is clearing snow, and there are other young people cleaning up on the avenue at the entrance of the village, and it is not strange to see Qi You and Zhixing coming together.

The patriarch of the Liu family and the patriarch of the Cheng family have not shown up for almost half a month, but Qi You and Zhixing are carrying the festival gift and holding the bundle and running towards the future happily.

Qi You just wanted Zhiping to call someone, but Zhiping had already opened his mouth crisply, calling over one by one, aunt, and mother-in-law, looking clever and sensible, and completely falling off like a monkey at home.

In Tianshui Village, there are Liu Cheng's two families, and these two families are the majority, and now they can't help but greet the juniors when they come in. After a few more words, I asked about Zhiping going to school, and there was no one next to me who was not envious and happy. There are too many scholars in the family, and when the spring returns to earn some money, he immediately sends a five-year-old child to a private school, this is a girl with great wisdom.

"It's a good day, and it's much better than those of us who are older." A woman in the Liu family who was cleaning the yard with her child saw that Zhiping was pleasing and was just about to bring someone over and waved her hand: "Ouch, I forgot, you are here to tie up, hurry up, Qi Laoxiu is old and loves to sleep, you hurry over, lest he take a nap and run away." ”

Seeing this, Zhiping hurriedly rummaged through his pocket, took out a piece of chestnut cake and stuffed it into the child's hand, and after stuffing it, he took back Qi You and Zhixing's hands.

This appearance made the people around him look like something, and praised him again and again.

Qi Xiucai lives in the village, so along the way, Zhiping has asked for a lot of tricks, Zhixing said leisurely while walking: "Look at it, this kid will be more solid than me in the future, and if you are older, your sister-in-law should chase after her with a broom." ”

Qi You raised his eyebrows: "That's not necessarily, you have been chased and scolded by Teacher Qi a few times in the private school, but you don't dare to say anything at Sister Chun." ”

"With Zhiping's cleverness now, I'm afraid it will be Sister Chun's heart treasure in the future."

Zhixing sighed and shook his head helplessly.

Isn't it, the boys of their family are destined to be lawless outside, and they are all vying to be good children in sister-in-law at home.

came all the way like this, but when he arrived at Qi Xiucai's house, the door was closed, and the few rooms next door had not had lunch yet, and Qi Xiucai had already taken a nap. Zhixing and Qi You looked at each other and sighed in unison. When he was about to return the original way, an uncle came out next door, and he was also related to the Liu family, and waved his hand when he saw that he was familiar with them: "Zhixing came to send the bundle, there are several of them this day, Lao Qi has instructed me, come and put things here for me, don't worry about those false courtesies." ”

"The friend from Lao Qi Town came over to drink together, and after drinking for a long time, the friend sent it back with his own housekeeper, and Lao Qi has been eating, sleeping and sleeping like this for almost two days."

Zhixing opened his mouth, and helplessly pushed out the little thing beside him: "Uncle, my younger brother plans to come over next year to enlighten him, and I'm afraid that Teacher Qi won't be able to do it if he doesn't look at him." ”

This Qi Lao Xiucai is famous for his love of drinking, and he has a friend who loves to drink, and they have all heard of it.

Unexpectedly, the uncle surnamed Liu waved his hand: "Okay, how long have you been selling sugar water at home, and how long have you memorized the thousand-character text for a few children, we all know here, let's go back quickly after the things are released, this weather is estimated to have a burst of snow, don't catch up on the way back." ”

As soon as he said this, Zhixing had no choice but to give up, a red envelope of three taels of silver, a basket of eggs, two chickens and a box of snacks, all of which were placed next door.

The uncle took it and teased: "I've earned a lot of money in the spring return, and your bundle ceremony is about to catch up with the tuition fees." ”

Zhixing looked inside, and there were really some things piled up inside, and it seemed that this Qi Fuzi really slept without seeing the light of day.

Hearing him say this, the two didn't dare to delay, although the distance was short, but they were carrying a child, and it was troublesome when they caught a cold.

After saying goodbye, the three of them immediately walked back, Tianshui Village is different from Xiaoliangshan, Xiaoliangshan is close to the foot of the mountain, Tianshui Village is a small highland like a gentle slope, it is easier to go back than when they came, and the brothers can't help but slow down their steps, but when passing by a blue brick house, Zhixing quickly lost his look, and the steps under Zhiping's feet also sped up a lot.

Qi You noticed it and glanced to the side, and after this glance, his face immediately turned cold.

The blue brick house was smoking, the house was built with full momentum, different from the small bungalow next to it, and there was a single row of clay sculpture walls, I didn't pay attention when I came, and then the family sat in front of the courtyard, and Zhixing saw it at a glance.

The one who sat on the small stool and looked at them like a scoundrel was that Liu Quan, and next to Liu Quan sat a skin-like figure with a depressed expression and couldn't lift his energy.

Qi You didn't know him, but looking at Zhixing's face, he also knew that he must be a rogue relative of the Liu family.

Liu Quan is only a senior, and he is only twenty-five or sixteen years old, and the other is about the same age as him, wearing a cotton coat with a cracked opening, and the two of them stared at them like poisonous snakes, until they stepped out of sight, Zhixing loosened his back for a long time.

"The other is Liu Gui, Liu Quan's cousin and our cousin. The scoundrel that those people talked about when they were clearing the snow was the one who sold land and gambled for money during the drought. ”

After hearing this, Qi You's mind flashed, and the two of them stared at them, and their brows furrowed.

"Go back quickly, the sun is getting darker."

The two walked away after a while, and they didn't hear the conversation between Liu Quan and Liu Gui in the courtyard separated by a wall.

Liu Quan deliberately said to him: "This is a chicken and a snack, and the battle is not big." ”

Liu Gui had no land a few years ago, and after crying a few times to the patriarch, the Liu patriarch simply disappeared, and after stealing chickens and dogs for a while, he stayed in Liu's family and didn't leave, so three or four months was considered to have caused all the stocks in Liu's family. Liu Quan is also tired of looking at this cousin now.

Liu Gui sneered: "My family doesn't help, so I have a little white face." ”

"Ho! Who dares to say this now, Cheng Tianbao was arrested if he didn't use it, Xiaoliangshan was standing with the village chief, and now, it's a sure family. ”

After a while, Liu Quan shook his head pretendedly: "I said, brother, you can't have no land in the spring." ”

Liu Gui didn't like to hear him say this, so he got up to leave, but Liu Quan hurriedly stopped him.

Liu Gui said angrily: "Is that what I want to plant without land?" I'm addicted to it, and you refuse to lend me money, and I still have to sell my land?! ”

"Yes, yes, yes! But you don't look at it, your brother and I couldn't eat enough on the big drought day. He patiently comforted, but scolded people several times in his heart.

"So, brother, I'll give you an idea."

Liu Guihu sat down suspiciously: "What idea?" Don't frame me. ”

Liu Quan moved the stool closer and pointed to the place in Xiaoliangshan: "You don't have land, don't they have seven acres!" ”

"Who's home?"

Liu Quan: "Who are you talking about!" ”

"Our uncle and aunt have been dead for many years, and the couple of the Liu family left with their lame son during the drought, how can there be serious adults in their family! The rest are all junior children, and there is no adult in the family, so is it difficult to let those children who have not grown all their hair plant? Zhixing and the second child of the Cheng family can plant, but aren't they here to hand over the ties, and they even have to plow the land when they go to school in the spring! ”

Only then did Liu Gui react: "You said his family!" He rolled his eyes: "What do you mean, let me rob their land?" ”

Liu Quan hated the iron and spat on him: "Why did you rob it?" ”

"You are a serious relative of your own family, but you pity that there are no adults in their family, you helped plant the land in the spring, and when you wait for the autumn harvest to divide the grain, this is called a good thing!"

Liu Gui figured out something at this time, looked at him for a while and laughed twice: "I understand what you mean!" ”

He planted the land first in the name of his relatives, and how to divide the grain on the day of harvest is of course his business, he can divide it as he wants, and wait for another year, and he will plant this land that will be his.

Liu Gui stretched out his hand and patted Liu Quan: "Brother, thank you!" When the time comes, I won't be able to disturb your family, so I'll move out when the time comes. ”

Liu Quan snorted coldly in his heart, drove away a vampire, and made that family of children suffer a dumb loss, this matter is sure to make a profit!

Thinking of this, he said: "When this year is over, you will borrow an ox to plow the land by yourself, and show your bearing as a cousin." This family is ghostly, but the clear-eyed people see that you are going with the intention of helping, and then a set of etiquette and filial piety will be pressed down, Zhixing and Cheng Lao Er are both going to take the imperial examination, and they dare not say anything! ”

Liu Gui looked like he was being taught, and nodded again and again. The two chatted a few more words, and the matter was settled.......

That Zhixing Qi You took Zhiping to hand over the bundles, and the spring return did not fall here, and he left a box for the two small tooth sacrifices, and the remaining three boxes of dim sum were sent to Village Chief Liu, Cai's and Father Li. All three of them have children, so this snack is a gift.

was afraid that Zhimin would not be safe at home alone, so he also took her to the door. Cai's and Liu's village chief left after saying a few words, and then at the end of the village, Daddy Li's place was also a coincidence, Chungui stood at the door with the child and just wanted to call someone, and Daddy Li was angry and scolded.

"If you don't marry a wife and have children, in a few years, everyone will have children running around, and you will still be a bachelor when I die!"

Chungui hurriedly stopped, and led Zhimin to retreat.

Zhimin looked at her in a daze: "Sister-in-law, Grandpa Li is scolding!" Who is he scolding? ”

Chungui "shh

scolded a few more words, but Li Zhicun didn't reply and only persuaded vigorously.

Chun Gui waited for a while and saw that it was not well, so he put away the dim sum: "Minmin, let's come back later." ”

As soon as the two turned around to leave, Li Zhigao suddenly came out and shouted to them: "Spring return, Zhimin, what's wrong with you two?" ”
